A. Since a built-in dishwasher is considered annexed to real estate, normal installation labor rules do not apply. The person “installing” the dishwasher is a contractor. If the diswasher is installed in a residential dwelling (single family home or duplex), the contractor will collect or pay sales tax on the dishwasher based on the contractor option he/she has chosen. No sales tax is charged on the labor to install the dishwasher, provided such charge is separately stated on the customer’s bill. If the dishwasher is installed in any building other than a residential dwelling, the contractor will charge sales tax on the dishwasher and on any contractor labor charge according to the contractor option he/she has chosen.
